This next thing which can be adjusted using current GNU gettext aclocal
macros without keept this on GNOME level. You can use for example:

AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(0.12.0)

for specify minimal version GNU gettext tool. It is analog for macro like:

AC_PREREQ(2.53)

which allow per project forcing minimal version of autoconf and like for
example:

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([gnu 1.6.3 dist-bzip2 no-define])

which allow specify minimal version of automake.
Generaly forcing on GNOME level using by all manitaibners version some 
tools will not make all simpler.

PS. Imagine .. if on some version GNU gettext this tool will bring sucking
text from XML files project maintainer can specify minimal required 
version gettext tools.
